Exciting News: Angela Collins Yachts Returns to Yacht Building with the Tosca 39!

It’s been a while, but I’m thrilled to announce that Angela Collins Yachts is once again diving into the world of yacht building. After over a decade of incredible adventures in the yacht brokerage industry, I’m back to my roots—creating beautiful, high-quality yachts designed to bring families the ultimate cruising experience.

Back in 2000, I founded Angela Collins Yachts, a brokerage that quickly became known for matching clients with the perfect vessels. A couple of years later, I decided to expand into yacht building, starting with the Parlay 40—a 40-foot catamaran. But I didn’t stop there. In collaboration with marine architect Angelo Lavranos, I designed the BlueBay37, a monohull that became a popular choice for cruising enthusiasts. I spent many successful years bringing these designs to life before selling my business in late 2007.

Fast forward to 2025, and I’m back, and this time I’m excited to announce that I’ll be building the Tosca 39. This stunning family cruising yacht, designed by the talented Angelo Lavranos, is a proven design with a center cockpit, a spacious aft cabin, and a sleek sugar scoop stern. With its beautiful lines and a beam that ensures stability and comfort, the Tosca 39 is the ideal yacht for short-handed cruising, allowing you to experience the joy of sailing with ease.

What makes this even more exciting is that it’s been over 20 years since a monohull has been built in South Africa—most yards here are focused on catamarans. I’m bringing back the monohull, and I’m doing it with a focus on quality, affordability, and craftsmanship. This is a yacht that’s perfect for family cruising or simply enjoying some quality time on the water, without the hassle of maintaining an old boat. Why settle for a used boat that demands constant repairs when you can have a brand-new, custom-built yacht, designed for modern sailing?

I’m building the Tosca 39 right here in Gordons Bay, Cape Town, and I’m incredibly proud to offer a new sailing experience to families who want a safe, solid, and stylish yacht that’s perfect for all types of adventures on the water.

If you’ve ever dreamed of owning your own yacht—or if you’ve been looking for a high-quality, affordable, custom-built family cruising yacht—let’s chat! I’d love to discuss how we can bring your dream yacht to life.

Give me a call at 064913816 or email me at angela@angelacollinsyachts.co.za to learn more. Let’s set sail on this exciting journey together!
